Question 38. Which of the following statements about enzymes is NOT true?
  1.    enzymes are reusable
  2.    enzymes work best at specific pH and temperatures
  3.    enzymes are lipids
  4.    enzymes are proteins
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> enzymes are lipids
Question 39. Why does ice float?
  1.    As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.
  2.    As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.
  3.    As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the hydrogen bonds of water molecules.
  4.    As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.
Question 40. How do enzymes speed up a reaction?
  1.    increase the activation energy
  2.    lower the activation energy
  3.    they add heat to the reaction
  4.    they decrease how many reactions can take place
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> lower the activation energy
